We were a party of 15 Guests and were there for a gathering of monthly Birthday celebrations of four Corpus Christi area Friends! We were greeted with a smile and seated promptly as an area was reserved for our party of 15. Our Waitress was "Ashley"! She was Very nice, smiled often, was very patient and extremely efficient in wrangling everyone's order. Ashley had a great attitude and was super in every aspect of her job and with everything she did. As with anything in life, her ability to effectively communicate with her Customers was Stellar. She had minor assistance from other servers and for the most part she handled our party by herself and continued to provide service to other large parties in the same room. WOW! She took our orders in a calm and effective manner and remembered all the tiny details that any table could impose on "Wait" Staff. Her poise, superb ability to communicate effectively and a Wonderful attitude made our stay a memorable one. Mistakes NONE! Complaints; some steaks had gristle on them. Really! That was a very minor issue and all agreed that it did not curb our appetite or spoil our celebration. The food was good to very good and accompanying condiments for everyone came in a quick and timely manner. Our party highly recommends this Restaurant and we keep coming back!

Started off with the complementary bread. The bread was the best part of the dining experience. It's super soft, tad bit sweet and really tasty! Hot/ fresh and amazing! Hubby and I BOTH got ribeye steaks (cooked as requested) which included 2 side options. We each did a caesar salad and mashed potatoes. The salad wasn't fresh. Had brown/ red discoloration. The mashed potatoes weren't even warm & had to send back to be reheated. Gorgonzola cream sauce got on the side, it was more a crumble! The sautéed onions I had added (at a fee) were undercooked and cold. They were taken off the bill. The waiter was good, kept his eye on us and was attentive. The only disappointment was they didn't recognize our momentous occasion. However, we purchased a Crème Brûlée dessert "to go" & it was good. Prices seemed fair, but quality and experience was below par.
